More RPGs should do this tbh. One could argue it makes the game easier but I'd just find it way more convinient.

Agreed.
If the game is balanced around it, it can still be challenging. You just have to change the design philosophy a little and make each individual battle count more, which Blue Reflection does an excellent job of, in my opinion. Now, it is on the easier side, yes (at least on Normal difficulty, no clue how it is on Hard), but I'd say that's because Gust isn't exactly known for making ball-bustingly hard games, and the fact that you can get quite powerful skills fairly early on if you're proactive about getting Fragments and making friends with your schoolmates.

Same here. Most of them don't present a difficulty high enough to keep me engaged.

Yea, I feel similarly. I don't need a super hard game, but I need to feel like I'm being at least a bit challenged, which doesn't help Kirby games, since they usually fail to do so.
I also feel Kirby games feel very samey, which isn't a bad thing inherently, but if it's samey in something I don't normally enjoy, well, I'll usually give it a pass.

Really cool how the game just ate my attack and pretended it didn't happen.

Here's the proof why 3D platformers are a no-go for me:

This is not exactly a platformer but an action RPG, but I needed like 20 minutes to pass this area because I failed with the jumps or fell down when attacking the enemies.

Beaver Bother... I hate that game so much! I cant explain how much I hate it, it's just awful.

Yes, this game tends to be brutally hard in lategame.

Also the races (beetle and rabbit) are really hard and force some racing skills from someone.

I wasn't aware of this until now. Looking it up, it's "Blue Blood", with "B.B" instead of "Mim(s)" for the shorthand.

Blue Blood sounds weird, and is a lot less scientific, I like mimeosome more. But Blue Blood does

  Reveal hidden contents

make it more obvious that Lao is telling the truth when he says that there was a bias for determining who got on the White Whale. 

 

And to speak of the other stuff

No idea myself. I can't think of how it'd relate to Blue Blood/mimeosome. "Janus" is one possibility that pops into my head- the two-faced Greco-Roman god. Interpret two-faced as "duplicitous", and you have a J-Body, human on the outside and to itself, but actually a robot.

 

Elma is proof that one alien got aboard the White Whale, so it's possible other alien races secretly made discovered humanity and that Eleonora is the agent of them.

I do prefer Eleonora and the J-Bodies as a purely human conspiracy however. X2 is going to have to feature innumerable hordes of Ghost or something else pushing NLA to the brink. I'd appreciate instead of another alien threat, that humanity has a serious internal menace too, something more than a few isolated anti-Xeno racists, a lobster bomber, an evil assistant to Asian-American Oprah, a serial killer in a stolen mim, and the ilk. The J-Bodies group could provide that.

 

Could explain that ominous stare of hers into the residential district- she is imagining everyone gone and replaced by happy J-Bodies. But of course we know absolutely nothing because we have no absolute evidence of anything. 😉

I've seen people speculate Cross = J-Body, but the oddity therein comes in what Eleonora says. She said Yelv's personality was stabilized by a third party, aka, you the player who have unwittingly made a positive contribution to her schemes. She should have known if Cross was another prototype J-Body, and she doesn't act like does.

On a related note, I do think Yelv didn't pop up suddenly after the crash on Mira. Not sure if he was around for the entire two years in space, but there is this post-battle exchange:

Elma - "Yelv, have you forgotten everything I've taught you?"

Yelv - "What? NO! I—I— ...Maybe? ... Sorry, Ma'am."

A banter with Boze casts Yelv as a lazy student, so I don't think this has to mean a real Yelv boarded then died. It says to me that Yelv has spent a minimum of a couple weeks training under Elma, could be longer. This could does add circumstantial, inferred evidence that Cross could be a J-Body.

Or, if you want to cast Cross as being ultra-mega special, contradicting what Cross currently is, pretend Mira wiped out Cross's memories or created their soul to make them the basis of a Homo Novae- a new human species. But I prefer Cross as ordinary.

 

I'll concur it's simple, easy, and that it could use more racetracks (and unusually for a racer it has no Grand Prix). But its bones are that of a competent Kirby spinoff. Air Ride mode is a traditional racer, City Trial is very different, and Top Ride is small tracks over many laps with a plethora of items to use-  "Kirby Kart Melee" in a way.

A sequel would be much desired, but I don't think Nintendo will ever make a non-Mario Kart racer now, too much cost, not enough profit.

Sounds pretty fun.

I only know a little of the soundtrack by playing Smash, it's really good.

I assume it's pretty much non existent anymore as most other GameCube games are, so no chance to play it on my Wii.

You ask me, it doesn't make a Radiant Dawn ironman any less terrible. And then there's part 4, with its assloads of enhanced crit mooks...

Part 4 is easy, if you're familar with the maps.

It would provide a nice aspect to the story. Despite humanity being besieged by an alien threat, that's not enough to cause all of humanity to band together. Perhaps Eleonora is an agent from a different country that escaped aboard a different White Whale. The fact that she can communicate with them may suggest that they are also on Mira. New Tokyo, perhaps?

I...
I just...
F***ING HELL!

@Shrimperor @Caster
I just finished watching the second Heaven's Feel movie and I just have no words. I. Have. No. Words.
I thought the first one was as good as it could get, but holy crap, Ufotable did it. They actually did it.

I kid you not, the Nepgya face that I am usually using for joke reactions was my actual, genuine reaction throughout the second hour or so of the movie. Preceded by the shocked Noire gif.
And yes, my jaw still kinda hurts.

And that fight scene. Holy GOD that fight scene... no other anime or movie I've seen even came remotely close to the utter epicness that was the

 

Evil Saber vs. Berserker

fight. The music, the choreography, the animation... holy f***.
It was also the first time

 

Berserker came across as a genuine force of nature to me, pure power incarnate, badass as Herakles should be. Ironically, it was probably also the battle in which he got curbstomped the hardest.

Regardless, any anime or movie fight scene I watch from here on out will have to compare itself to this one. And the question isn't "can Ufotable do epic scenes justice?" anymore. It's become "Can they actually top this fight?".

Also

 

Shinji finally kicked the bucket in the most humiliating way possible for scum like him, which made me quite happy.

And then the ending... good lord, the ending...

Movie 3 has a LOT to live up to, let's just put it that way...

The scenes with Illya were really sweet, for instance. And the scene where

Oh yeah, I completely forgot. The ending theme was awesome. I just barely registered it at first, because of... well, everything. XD

If by Golden Dinner you mean the scene where

Sakura gets taken over by what is apparently the will of the Holy Grail and starts to eat people while she herself is in some sort of strange fever dream with plush bunnies, a castle and plenty of candy

, then... holy f***, I did not see that one coming. And it threw me for a loop, too, especially

when Gilgamesh Gate of Babylon'd her and she lived.

Though I did chuckle slightly when

Gilgamesh's leg got ripped off and all he was worried about was that he was almost made to kneel before someone else. XD

As for Sakura herself... hoo boy. Poor girl. It's almost like

the universe itself hates her at this point.

Yeah, that is a reason why I didn't enjoy FE6 at all. One tiny mistake and it's all over. And it's easy to make these mistakes, because these chapters are so damn tedious, they just wear you down mentally.

[Shrimpica]

Bad End 26 - If Shirou doesn't bond with Illya enough https://lparchive.org/Fatestay-night/Update 386/ aka what should've actually happened xD

Bad End 35 - Bringing it down at the end of the Movie https://lparchive.org/Fatestay-night/Update 349/

The movie mixed Bad Ends 30 and 35 together in the form of a monologue for Shirou. Was really really well done. The Movies do Shirou much more justice than the UBW Anime ever did.

I hope you know now why he is like one of my fav. protags ever xD

actually, it wasn't until what movie 3 will adapt that cemented that.

I'm only on Ch. 7 and the amount of times I've missed are almost equal to the amount of times I've actually hit an enemy, axe user or not. It's more than a bit frustrating when the hit rates always feel like a lie.

Lesson learned: always bond with the homunculoli. Always.

Bad end 30 is exactly what Archer wanted to prevent, I bet.
Pretty dope for a bad end, though.

And Bad End 35 is what I was thinking would have happened had he really gone through with it. I was honestly waiting for

I never was part of that hate train. All I thought about her character is that she was kind of inconsequential to the whole thing, because she was never really the focus in the other adaptations. She was always this character I would have liked to know more about, like her history and such. Well... now I know.
